Jonathan FAIRBANKS

"Admitted townsman in Dedham 'ye 1 of ye 11: 1654,' and signed the covenant.

"He was a soldier in King Phillip's War, serving in the first or Mr. Hope campaign in 1675, also in several subsequent campaigns. His name appears in the list of 'Assignment of Wages' to the town of Roxbury, Aug 26, which leads to the supposition that at that time he resided there . . . " [1]

Jonathan "came to Boston with his family in 1633 . . . and remained there about three years, when he settled in Dedham, being one of the earliest Pioneers. He with others signed the Covenant when the town was established and named." [1]
